University of Oxford 2025 Ellison Scholarship Program for Undergraduate Students

Published: 22 May 2025

The innovation projects aim to solve global problems through technology and are at the centre of gravity for both EIT and the Ellison Scholars programme. The programme is looking to find outstandingly talented people who have the skills and abilities to contribute significantly to specific projects within our humane endeavours. Exact projects will be determined when students enter the programme.

Undergraduate Ellison Scholars will work on a project year-round, alongside their university studies, and full-time during much of the University’s long vacation (i.e. the summer break). Working shoulder-to-shoulder with world-leading experts to solve real-world problems through technology whilst studying for a fully-funded undergraduate degree at one of the top universities in the world is what sets this scholarship programme apart.
